Restless Slumber: The Lost Door (VOTING CLOSED)

Vanora

Friend PM Trade

Unlike the other doors within the realm, this door seems to be at least double the size, consisting of two conjoined doors that part in the middle. On each door is one half of a heart, that you watch break apart as you move to open and step within it.

Gee, not a very subtle use of symbolism, is it?

You find yourself standing within a field, walls of what you immediately identify as a thick, lush hedge maze surrounding you. This is going to make it a lot more difficult to find the owner of this dream, isn’t it…? You don’t walk for very long before you hear a voice call out.

“Vivienne? VIVIENNE! Where are you?”

That sounds like Vanora… This must be her dream. You don’t take two more steps before another call stops you.

“V… Vanora? Vanora… I can’t find you…”

Both of them? Who’s dream is this? Yeesh… Better find them both just to be safe.

It doesn’t seem to take long before you catch some movement out of your eye. Rushing forward you call out, reaching out to grab the shoulder of the figure. However, as you turn them around, you see neither Vivienne or Vanora. Instead, you’re staring directly at a figure with a completely blank face. Startled, you back away, and only now take note of how many of them are wandering this ever twisting maze.

Great… This won’t make finding the girls any more difficult.

YOU REUNITE THE TWO...

You rush through the maze, looking around for any sign of Vivienne or Vanora among the every growing crowd of faceless humans. Trying to tune out the chaotic surroundings around you, you instead focus on their calling voices, still desperately trying to find each other.

“Vivienne… Please show up…”

That sounds close! You push past some of the figures, and reach out as you spot a blob of vibrant purple and yellow hair. She jumps in surprise and turns to look at you… Bingo! That’s Vanora!

She sighs in relief, before frowning and shaking her head, “What are you doing here…? Are you lost too? I can’t find Vivi!”

You quickly agree to explain later as you take her hand, leading her through the rush of the crowd. You listen out, catching the other’s voice in the distance.

“Vanora? Are you here…? Vanora!”

“I’m here!” Vanora calls back as the two of you run towards the source, hurrying out of fear of losing her again. It doesn’t take you long to spot a short, golden blond head in the crowd, and with all your might you rush forward, reaching out to grab her arm before she disappears again.

“Ah!” She jumps in surprise before her teary eyes widen in surprise and relief as she sees the two of you. You let go of their arms as the two of them rush in to hug each other instead, laughing in joy and basking in each other's presence.

“Vanora! I…. I was so worried! I didn’t think I’d find you again!”

“Vivi… Me too! But you had to know I’d never leave you alone, right?”

“Ah…” Vivienne smiles weakly, wiping the tears from her eyes as she nods softly, “I know… But…” She’s cut off with a blush, smiling warmer as Vanora kisses her forehead.

“I’ll never leave you. Not in a million years. No matter what, I’ll always be by your side.”

Vivienne nods shyly as she laughs gently, “No matter what… Ah.. B-But! Maybe we should talk about this later,” She looks to you with a gentle nod, “Thank you for the help…”

Of course, you weren’t going to leave these lovebirds separated for too long. But it’s about time you all left this place. Making sure they’re following safely behind, you lead them free of the dream world and into their waking lives.
